Civil War: Bull Run 1861 Game – FREE DOWNLOAD CODES

The bugle has sounded. The drums are beating out the quickstep. It’s time to j’ine up as Billy Yank or Johnny Reb and play the iOS game Civil War: Bull Run 1861—and HexWar is offering 10 free download codes for ArmchairGeneral.com’s readers.

The HexWar website says, “This game covers the Battle of Bull Run in full, featuring the whole battle as a single mission, focus missions recreating significant points in the fighting such as Henry House Hill, and missions covering the smaller engagements in the run up to the battle.”

The six scenarios include the full battle of First Bull Run, Blackburns Ford, Buck Hills, Henry House Hill, Big Bethel and Bloody Hill. Units offer eight different types of artillery, five types of cavalry (mounted & dismounted), and three types of infantry, plus four categories of unit quality and four categories of generals. Other features include Low Ammo, map zoom, strategic movement for getting units into action faster, and flank attacks.

To be eligible for one of the 10 free download codes just leave a comment below telling us your favorite game, book or movie about the American Civil War. Only one entry per person. Contest closes at midnight on Sunday, April 26, 2015. We’ll randomly select 10 winners the next day.

I know this isn’t a option but for song I would like to mention Iced Earth’s trio of songs about Gettysburg, clocking in over 30 minutes long! From their album “Glorious Burden” The Devil to Pay – Hold at All Costs – High Water Mark. It is heavy metal so it may not be everyone’s cup of tea!

My favorite book about the American Civil War is “Company H” about a young soldier’s war experiences from Tennessee.
My favorite movie about the war is “Glory”, brilliant but tragic story about the 54th Mass.
Finally my favorite game is American Civil War II from Ageod. Throughly refined and constantly updated to cover the massive struggle between the States.

Movie: Ken Burn’s Civil War
Book: Shelby Foote’s three volumes are something I get something from every single time I go back in.
Game: Battle of Antietam by SSI…it was the game I played on my ship during a long cruise and it made my visit to the park all the better since I already “knew” the ground.
